"#10" FSU loses to GT

Preseason rankings are nothing but popularity contests.

FSU pretenders! Ga Tech owned the line of scrimmage.

Has that Florida State coach stopped whining yet about not making the playoffs last year? I bet he does now.

I thought this was a real possibility. Brent Key is a good coach, he mending fences in the state of Georgia with the HS coaches and recruiting really well. FSU got away with depending on the portal in 23, but looks like it may have bit them this year. Looks like Tech could be a threat for the ACC title. I really like their QB.

Georgia Tech has a very good team, great game and I bet Georgia Tech + the points and again on the money line.

I’m not sure too many people had them as a serious championship threat anyway, but FSU didn’t look good today and deserved to lose. Tech completely bullied them in the running game, and Uiagalelei still isn’t an elite QB despite the recruiting hype he once had.

Really could see this coming, I picked Tech. Norland's must hate playing GA teams, UGA slaughtered him last year, Tech got him today. Too bad.

there’s a reason DJ Ukelele is in his 23rd year of college

Is FSU still sure they want the SEC?

From Clemson to Oregon St. to Florida St. Not getting it done.

Criminole war chant.

I thought both teams executed pretty well for the first game of the season. FSU's D
definitely isn't top 10. I thought if they had won they should probably drop to the 12-15
range in the polls but since they lost they should drop to about 20 range. ESPN talking
heads pimping them to still make the playoff. They've got what looks like a pretty
easy schedule so they've got that going for them.

DJU has nice size, really good arm but is lacking in other areas to excel. He had some nice games at Org St but today looked like the Clemson version of himself.

I wonder how long FSU sticks with DJ if he continues to struggle.

If you look at his stats, they're not horrible. Good completion %, almost 200 yards, no ints. But, he's just 'meh'. And, other than a few shining moments here and there throughout his career, he's pretty much always been 'meh, and, at times, plain dreadful. Another one of the 'can't miss', 5*, all-world guys that just didn't cut it at the next level. He's got all the measurables, doesn't seem like he's a brickhead but just can't seem to put it all together for a complete game/season.

 

[christophero]

A lot of short completions.
